Authentic Cooking Class in Lecce: Handmade Pasta & Salento Wine

An amazing evening - delicious food and wine, incredibly welcoming hospitality and so interesting to learn how to make pasta and the history of the food in the region. I highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time with Lisa and Fabio at the pasta cooking class. They are wonderful people. The pasta’s that were prepared by all of us was a great experience. Would highly recommend this activity.

We had a wonderful experience learning to make pasta with Lisa and Fabio, they were fantastic hosts in their beautiful home and Lisa’s cooking was amazing! It was a very relaxed and informal evening and we enjoyed the fruits of our labour with fabulous wine and exchanging stories with the other participants. Lisa and Fabio made us feel like family around for dinner. Fabio took lots of photos whilst we were making the pasta and sent them to us at the end so we didn’t have to think about that whilst we were making the pasta 😂 Being picked up and dropped off from Lecce was an additional bonus as we did not hire a car. Would highly recommend.

One of the most unique and best experiences my friend and I had in our trip through Italy. Lisa and Fabio are great people with amazing stories and they make it so easy to teach you how to make delicious pasta! A must do if you are in the Lecce area!

This was so much more than just a pasta-making class—it was a truly memorable experience from beginning to end. Fabio and Lisa created such a warm, welcoming, and relaxed atmosphere that I felt at home from the very first minute. You can immediately see that they don't just share their knowledge; they put their hearts into everything they do. The pasta-making process was fun, engaging, and easy to follow, even for beginners. They explained every step with patience and enthusiasm, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. The best part was sitting down together to enjoy the delicious pasta we had made with our own hands. It wasn't just about the amazing food—it was about the conversations, the laughter, and the feeling of spending an evening with friends rather than attending a class. Thank you, Fabio and Lisa, for your incredible hospitality, kindness, and passion. Experiences like this stay with you long after the trip is over. If you're looking for an authentic, intimate, and unforgettable experience, I couldn't recommend this class more highly. I can't wait to come back!

Amazing night with Lisa and Fabio. Fabulous pasta paired with great regional wine. Thanks again for your hospitality. Also pleasure to meet Joey the dog!

We had the BEST time cooking with Lisa and Fabio!!! Not only did they provide transportation but they were such gracious hosts. We enjoyed aperitif and wine before enjoying our pasta, all of which were delicious! I cannot recommend this experience enough. We even got to meet their puppy, Joey!!🩷 thank you again to Lisa and Fabio!! Amazing and authentic and experience - I will be back!

Fabio and Lisa met the whole group in town and transported us to their lovely home. We had a brilliant evening enjoying the activity, the food, the plentiful wine and the company. We gained lots of knowledge about the area and enjoyed meeting new people.

An Unforgettable Night in Lecce! We had the absolute best time taking a pasta-making class with Lisa and Fabio in Lecce. From start to finish, the entire evening was a wonderful experience. Lisa and Fabio are fantastic teachers. They were incredibly patient with everyone and taught us two fun new pasta techniques that we cannot wait to try at home. The class is also highly social. We loved meeting new people and making new friends around the cooking table. To make things even better, they served wonderful appetizers and delicious wine throughout the event. What truly sets Lisa and Fabio apart is their incredible hospitality. We accidentally forgot our pasta tools after the class, and they went completely out of their way to deliver them to our hotel the very next day. Everything they did went above and beyond our expectations. If you are visiting Lecce, do not miss this class! Thank you, Lisa and Fabio, for a beautiful memory. Donna, Doug & Tracy

I can't even begin to explain how wonderful this experience was. I went with my husband and 3 adult children. Lisa and Fabio were exceptional hosts. They picked us up and brought us to their home and treated us like family. We had appetizers and wonderful wine and then the instructions began. Lisa was so patient and such a great teacher. Fabio was also great with instruction and he took wonderful pictures and video's that he shared with us. We had wine with our lesson and they treated us to a wonderful desert. We all agreed it was the highlight of our week in Italy. We have been making pasta every Sunday with the entire family, 5 grandkids and 6 adults, since we returned home. This class has changed our lives in the most wonderful way. Thank you. Karen, Greg, Erin, Jess, and Adam
